Hyderabad: Demonetisation has opened up a new battlefront in the Congress-TRS war, with leaders of both parties shooting barbs at each other
While the TRS on Friday slammed the Congress, accusing it of obstructing and wasting Parliament time, T-Congress leaders accused Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of going to New Delhi to convert “black money into white.”
TRS Deputy Floor leader in the Lok Sabha, B. Vinod Kumar said Congress, which had welcomed demonetisation of high-value currency notes and has to play a key role subsequently, is only interested in adjourning Parliament.
Meanwhile, Congress MLA D.K. Aruna alleged the Mr Rao was going to New Delhi to convert “black money into white.”
“KCR claimed Telangana was a rich and revenue-surplus state. Why is he now seeking Centre’s help? There is only corruption and no development in the state. People are suffering due to Modi’s decision. The PM promised to get back black money stashed in foreign banks, but he has miserably failed. I see sadism in his actions,” Ms Aruna said.
Former MP Ponnam Prabhakar said Mr Rao’s face turned pale since the time of the demonetisation announcement, leaving it to the listeners to infer why.
